Spectra nTier File Migrator
nTier File Migrator is a high-performance, scalable hierarchical archive manager that simplifies access to large quantities of data stored on both disk and tape. Transparent to users and applications, nTier File Migrator presents managed tapes and a disk cache as a logical drive letter, allowing them to write and retrieve files from the digital archive as though from a standard Windows logical hard drive. Ideal for environments that need to economically store large amounts of data, File Migrator suits storage solutions that range from terabytes to multiple petabytes of on-demand data.
Is Deduplication Right for You?
Data deduplication has emerged as a popular feature in data storage — but is deduplication right for you? With all the industry excitement about deduplication, this is a question you should ask. Deduplication is often called a "game changer" and it certainly can be. In fact, it often lives up to the hype fairly well, and the average IT environment may find a deduplication system an excellent fit.
Emerging Trends in Storage: Energy
Historically, server managers have been concerned about power, but power management problems are increasingly plaguing more areas of the data center. With storage requirements expanding at an alarming pace, storage is continually accounting for more and more of today’s data center power load. With energy costs rising, it is necessary that you have cost-effective and energy-efficient storage. By using innovative engineering and design, Spectra’s T-Series libraries offer you solutions that use less power and give you tools to actually see the money you’re saving.
Emerging Trends in Storage Webinar Series: nTier and DPM
Please join us for an informative session demonstrating how Microsoft's DPM 2007 sets a new standard for continuous data protection and how it seamlessly integrates with Spectra Logic's versatile nTier archive and backup server. We'll also cover product enhancements in DPM 2007, how nTier simplifies your backup and archive configuration and why they are both an important addition to your data protection strategy.
Effortless Encryption For Data At Rest
When your organization loses stored data, your organization may be subject to legal action. Even so, many organizations don't encrypt stored data because, up until now, it's been complicated and expensive. This Webinar will walk you through the different methods for encrypting data as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Media Lifecycle Management Lab
During the month of April, Spectra Logic will announce the release of another innovation in tape-media technology with Media Lifecycle Management (MLM). You are invited for a first-glimpse at how storage manager's can use MLM to eliminate up to 55% of backup-related errors. Please join us for a live demonstration of Media Lifecycle Management, and we'll take you inside the GUI.
Introducing Media Lifecycle Management
We all know that bad tape media is known as a leading source of permanent data loss, then why don’t more vendors take media reliability more seriously? Recovery staffs already spend 18% of their time on tape management, and still find it difficult to answer the basic questions that help keep your data protected and safe on your tapes.
Emerging Trends in Storage Webinar Series: Data Deduplication
Data deduplication has emerged as a popular feature in data storage implementations. What are the methods to implement it? What are the pros and cons of the various implementations? Please join us for an informative session exploring the fundamentals of data deduplication and what to consider when searching for a solution. We'll also examine the range of benefits and disadvantages of implementing data deduplication as part of your data reduction strategy.
Emerging Trends In Storage Webinar: Data Encryption
While network and internet security issues have been thoroughly addressed, data at rest remains vulnerable. Being that storage encryption is now easier to manage and more affordable, it has become a viable option for you to lock down your sensitive information. Please join us for an informative session covering one of the hottest topics in storage today-encryption, and why it is important to you. We'll cover such topics as encryption basics, the progression of encryption technology, the importance of storage security, government and industry regulations, and ways to encrypt your data.
